Blurry!

From the end of April to now has been a blurr. May was a crazy month - so crazy that we didn't even really get to Celebrate mine or Steve's Birthday's. Steve was super busy with work and home only a handful of days for most of the month. Having the Dad gone always makes for some hectic days and a very, very, very, very tired Mommy. Thankfully that is all behind us and we can move forward and CAN'T WAIT for school to get out next week.

Here are some of our May highlights!

• Miner Day at School (The school mascot is a Gold Miner). I was able to help out and Celebrate at Brooklynn's class. Josh, for once, got to come along and had fun playing the games and making the same things that the BIG kids did. He also loved playing in the Kitchen in Brooklynn's classroom and couldn't stop talking about it. Miner Day ends with a big FAIR and fundraiser, unfortunately I was really sad that we couldn't make it to the fair because of a baseball game for Ty, no really I was devastated, no really.
  

• The kids also enjoyed some play time with their friends. Here is Brooks with one of her BFF's Taylie, they decided they needed some crazy hair and Brooklynn really took it as far as she could!

• Ty and Steve were able to spend a wonderful 5 days in Utah and while there they went to the BYU Father and Sons Basketball camp. Of course I don't have any pictures, but when you get to have a weekend alone with dad and see some of your bestest cousins and your grandparents and some Auntie's and Uncle's what more can you ask for when you are 8. Ty had a fantastic time and it was a great way to get caught up with Dad after not seeing to much of him all month.
• The day after they arrived home from Utah was Tyler's first Pinewood Derby. The only problem was that there was no time before they left to get a car started. So with about an HOUR and A HALF before race time we started working on his car. Dad did the cutting, mom and Ty did the sanding, we got some wheels in place and Dad provided us with a custom 'Sharpie' paint job. It wasn't perfect and it wasn't super fast, but it was done and as you can tell by the look on the kids face, it was good enough. Although the car didn't win a race (due to a wheel that broke after the first run) Ty had fun! We affectionately named the car 'The Bolt' That about sums up our month. In the midst of the highlights was the regular stuff like baseball, gymnastics, homework, reading, scouts, laundry, cleaning, and whatever else it is we do all day everyday. Hmmmm what is it that I do all day everyday? I don't know, it is all a blurr!
